Mosquitos, Mad Scientists and Ethics

Scientists are talking about using genetically modified mosquitos to deliver vaccines. Vaccines and diseases at the same time? I suppose it is efficient at least.

Mad scientists are a fictional stereotype you might think, they exist in Bond films, pulp fiction anf B movies. Think again. A group of mad scientists have come up with a scheme to use genetically modified mosquitos with antigens in their saliva to eradicate illness by vaccinating the world by biting everybody.
Mad Japanese scientists have reaffirmed my faith in human collective insanity. Rather than world domination they are pursuing the goal of world vaccination. These nuts, as reported in the April issue of “Insect Molecular Biology”, claim they have developed a method of making mosquitoes into flying syringes full of vaccine.

The project involved adding an antigen (a compound that triggers an immune response) to a mosquito’s saliva. In theory when the new, antigen enriched mosquitoes select a tasty human for lunch, instead of infecting their dinner with malaria, yellow fever or a number of other diseases ranging from lethal to mildly inconvenient, the pesky insects will be inoculating the people they are dining on against those or other diseases.

Only a scientists would be unable to see at least a million of the flaws in this idea.

Some time ago my editor-in-chief was the target of hate attacks by left wing sheeple for questioning the effectiveness of vaccines as anything but profit drivers for Big Pharma. Well Ian has thick skin so he was quite pleased to have provoked a few death threats. One of his targets howver was Dr. Offit who had famously said new born babies could have 10,000 vaccines at the same time without suffering harm. He has not fared so well, having become an object of ridicule.

Vaccinate the World: Gates, Rockefeller Seek Global Population Reduction. Being a former computer professional from back when we had to know how the things worked to program them, Bill Gates was always the incompetent amateur who got a big leg up because of his CIA connections and then made 'not fit for purpose' acceptable quality.

Dr. Diane Harper was a leading expert responsible for the safety and effectiveness studies of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines, Gardasil™ and Cervarix™. Dr. Harper also authored many scholarly papers about the vaccines. She is now the latest in a long string of experts who are pressing the red alert button on the consequences and irrelevancy of these vaccines.
